title: A modified posterior pelvic exenteration technique in a woman: (a simplified method with using transvaginal way).
abstract: We represent a simplified surgical method for posterior pelvic exenteration in a woman by using the transvaginal way in addition to classic abdominal approach. A modified posterior pelvic exenteration technique was performed in a patient with bulky pelvic tumor. The transvaginal way was used for the deep perineal dissection when the abdominal dissection was arrested. An ultralow coloanal anastomosis was completed by using the transvaginal way. After the recovery period, the patient was discharged from hospital without any complication. The transvaginal access should be reminded in the circumstances of the abdominal dissection arrested in posterior pelvic exenteration operations in women.
